Advent and Christmas 2020
We have worked hard to create a safe environment with increased sanitization, mask wearing throughout, and six feet of distancing between households — while also respecting our sacramental life — to bring you beautiful liturgies.
All Catholics continue to be dispensed from any obligation to the sacraments while the pandemic persists, so these opportunities are entirely optional.
Christmas Masses in the Year of Our Lord, 2020 will each be celebrated in both the church in limited capacity — reservations required — with live-streamed overflow seating in Steiner Hall.
Christmas is celebrated in many special ways at Nativity since it is not only one of the two great feasts of the Church year, it is also the patronal feast day of our parish.

To help us maintain appropriate safety measures, we will require

We apologize that we are not able to accommodate walk-ins for our Christmas liturgies.
For those unable to attend Mass in person, we invite you to
tune in virtually here on our website, then come to receive Holy Communion outside at the School Plaza (off Wellesley Ave.) in your car or on foot, no reservations required.
